Just noticed  :eek

Thanks Moff for another brilliant Spring meet, even the weather on the ride out did not spoil the day, thanks again--looking forward to next years meet.

Bit of info might be useful.
Been working on son's FZ1 again! Found play in bearing at bottom of shock, Marksman didn't list one, but I have measured up and 17 x 24 x 17 needle roller bearing fits, Marksman have these and the dust seals, had to order bearing collar from Fowlers.
I have no connection to Marksman! just found them to be very helpful.
Kit number for bearing - YT172417-1 and seals 17 x 24 x 3

This storm is passing past me at the moment and will be hitting the south cost of England in the next few hours

Just aquired my first fz6 2006 model and its great but the ignition barrel is sticky .I thought i could live with it but its getting on my tits now.I have cleaned and oiled as best i can but still no improvement.my question is can i buy a replacement barrel and key or do i need matching cdi etc .Any advice welcome cheers --

Just got back from a ride and noticed the clutch felt odd, pulling the lever it feels like a two stage trigger on a gun with a very definite change half way through the travel, it's not the lever as I pushed the lever on the clutch cover and the same can be felt, any ideas before I pull it to bits ?

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help? I've owned my Fazer 1000 for around 4 years. I tend to run it at low revs in high gears. I've only known the radiator fan to kick on once or twice and that's even after the temp light has come on. Recently the seal failed on the water pump and I had it replaced but the fan did not come on when they tested the cooling system. Can anyone give me some idea of a systematic check I can do in order to eliminate possible reasons for this? I know that the fan has not got any debris in it as the fan spins freely. it could be a relay problem or a thermo problem but I have no idea how to check this as I have no experience with the electrics.

Can anyone help me?

Typical  :'(

I have not been to the USA for about 28 years now, my Wife and Daughter have never been, so we booked up about 6 weeks ago to fly out with BA on Monday 29th to visit my Son who is in St Louis Missouri, our fist stop was to be O'hare Chigcaro and then internal flight to St Louis, then after a couple of days fly on to Cali and visit Carmel by the sea where Clint Eastwood was Mayor (Love Clint, no I said Clint).

Tonight I heard on the news (Been up in Knightsbridge all day so heard nothing until tonight) that BA computers have had a massive melt down and no BA flights have left either Heathrow or Gatwick today and the computer system is still F----d so it don't look good for Monday :'(   There is going to be One Mother of a backlog.
Hopefully they will sort it tomoz and we will be able to go at some point early in the week.
We booked with BA (Not the cheapest) because we thought that they would be the most comfortable and most reliable.
